The procurement process overseen by Educo, a public undertaking based in Leicester, United Kingdom, involves tendering for the provision of cleaning services across schools during term time and additional deep cleaning during some holiday periods. The contract, titled "BET Cleaning Tender - Notice to award," falls under the industry category of school cleaning services and is set to be performed in various regions including UKJ26, UKJ25, and UKJ36. This contract, with an estimated gross amount of £16,175,526, follows an open procurement method and utilised a competitive flexible procedure in its tendering stage, which has now reached the award stage as of 14th May 2026. The award to CleanTEC, a supplier based in Watford, is pending, with the contract period scheduled from 1st August 2026 to 31st July 2029, and potential for extension upon meeting specific key performance indicators.
